Description

Preface -- The stories here were written by Pastor Sope in the 1950s. There were another two stories in English which aren't included in the book of stories, but are included in the file NT3-storian-text.txt. Pastor Sope wrote these stories in the old language of South Efate. I found these stories in Arthur Capell's materials which were held by Peter Newton at his house in Balmain. Thanks to Peter Newton for looking after these papers (see http://catalog.paradisec.org.au/collections/AC2/items/VEFAT25). Dina Thieberger typed the stories and Endis Kalsarap translated them into modern South Efate and into Bislama. -- Fes toktok -- Ol storian ia oli kamaot long sam pepa we Pastor Sope i bin raetem samples long yia 1950. -- Pastor Sope ibin raetem storian ia, mo igat tufala storian mo long Inglis we mifala i no bin joenem long plesia. -- Ol storian we i stap long smol buk ia Pastor Sope i bin raetem long olfala lanwis blong bifo. -- Mi bin faenem ol storian ia taem mi bin go luk sam pepa blong wan linguis, nem blong hem Arthur Capell.
